This research-based course normally takes three to four years of study and has a strong track record of preparing students for careers in academia and elsewhere. You will be a member of a lively research environment and the department places great emphasis on matching student and supervisor. You will be expected to carry out your own research project, which will be offered from the Sub-department of Astrophysics’ broad range of research areas. These include: - cosmology; - exoplanets and stellar physics; - galaxies; - instrumentation; - theory; and - transients, pulsars and high-energy astrophysics. Your research work begins on day one and will be underpinned by a taught graduate course in the first year that runs in parallel. It will provide a comprehensive overview of both the state of modern astrophysics and the necessary skills required to make progress in 21st century research. You will also have the opportunity to follow courses taught at other departments across the Maths, Physics and Life Sciences division. You will engage in a thorough skills training programme which includes a range of workshops and seminars in transferable skills, generic research skills and specific research techniques. There are also numerous seminars and lectures held in the department by local and visiting physicists, and you will be provided with many opportunities to meet experts in various fields. There will also be opportunity for you to present your work at both formal and informal conferences, seminars and colloquia...
